37 Weeks and Counting

Happy Monday to everyone.

Chris and I had a great weekend and got time to enjoy our time with family. My sister Christy turned 40 this past week and was really pushing for baby Harper to come early and share a Birthday with her. After our doctor appointment on Friday we thought that it might actually be a possibility. On Friday our amniotic fluid level was measuring low and Dr. Peters thought that we may be on a trend of loosing it too fast. It was at 10 2 weeks ago and was measuring at a 6 on Friday. If it gets down to 4 we would have to deliver the baby ASAP. I went back to see Dr. P today and things are looking much better. Fluid level is back to normal and Harper is doing great. She just doesn't want to come out yet and is determined to be our special Thanksgiving gift. After our appointment with Dr. P went to see Dr. Bailey for my weekly check up. The baby is dong great. Mommy is doing well too. I have lost another 2 pounds which is a great sign that a lot of the fluid that caused so many issues a few weeks ago is coming off. Dr. B says this is from me being a good patient and staying off my feet. I have to admit though that Chirs did allow me to get out of the house on Saturday and enjoy a beautiful day just riding in the car with him. We were even able to enjoy lunch out on a patio at a great Mexican Restaurant. No worries because on Sunday he wouldn't let me off the sofa for anything. So I paid a price for a little bit of freedom.

We only have two weeks left at this point and we are both getting very anxious. I just can’t wait to meet our sweet baby!

I go back to see Dr. P on Friday and then Dr. B on Monday so I will send an update as soon as we hear some more news.
